Why are so many people unhappy?

Why are so many people unhappy?

I was at a department store today and I overheard two sales clerks talking. They were complaining about the workplace, the hours, the other employees…speaking in hushed tones as though no one around them could hear their negative words.

They did not know that only a few feet away from them, I, who can hear the grass grow, could hear every word.

As I listened to them, I thought to myself, why are so many people unhappy?

Unhappy in their work, unhappy in their relationships, unhappy in their life…

I can go into any grocery store at any time of the day and be met with a surly, grumpy employee who will no doubt ignore me if I was on fire.

When I ask them how they are, I am met with, “Is it 5:00 yet?” or the droll “I’m still here…”

I can talk to just about every other woman on the street who is in an unhappy relationship and she will be more than happy to tell me her tale of woe. Why?

I know women who live with men who cheat on them and they tolerate it. Why? Then they complain about being so miserable. Why?

I know people who have children and all they do is complain about them. Why? I cannot have children after losing twin boys back in 1998. I would love to have my sons here with me today. Be thankful for the children you have.

I used to be a miserable person. I hate to admit that however it’s true. I was sullen, arrogant, controlling, judgmental and a times, downright rude.

I was just a miserable shrew and I guess now that I am not…I am so far away from that horrible person, that I can see that trait in others.

I get it.

FaceBook is another example of misery. I know, I know, I am a big time FaceBook fan and enjoy it for the most part however there are so many posts on there that are a turn off to me.

I understand that everyone has a bad day or gets sick but do you have to post about it all the time? I had to turn off one post from a woman who is ill and every single day, ALL day long, her posts reflect her illness. Nothing positive is ever talked about.

Did it ever occur to her that she is drawing more illness into her life?

I see people on there who are angry and some threaten others…some badmouth everyone and spread hate and negative energy.

I don’t want to be around that, do you?

I am not little Mary Sunshine every day however it’s important for me to spread joy to others and to make a difference in someone’s life…a positive difference.

Back in 2006, I lost my mother after a short illness. After her death, I was thrown into a black pit of loss and despair. One by one tragedies befell me until the person I knew before no longer existed.

I was an empty shell, a nothing, a nobody…I wanted to die and die I did. I thank God for that death

It took three years to live again and see the light at the end of the tunnel and realize that it was not a train but the sun and it wanted me to live again, to love again, to breathe.

It had faith in me when to me, all faith had been lost.

It was then and only then did the old me go away and die. It just withered up and died right there and in its place was a new person, a reborn person who was no longer unhappy, I was no longer someone who was full of anger and bitterness, someone who could finally see the sun through the clouds and I learned to love others in a deep and profound way.

Out of that darkness came the book THE RAINBOW WON’T WAIT…which is “a dying mother’s advice for the obstinate daughter she is leaving behind…” a brutally raw look at caring for a dying mother while I too, was dying inside.

http://www.amazon.com/The-Rainbow-Wont-Wait-ebook/dp/B006ZE6JIC/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1352768053&sr=8-5&keywords=LISA+V.+PROULX

Life is good…it is also short and as my mother always said, it gets shorter as we age and it goes faster too…so the next time you are unhappy, stop and ask yourself why…

Listen to that inner voice inside and fill that black hole of anger and doubt with positive energy and joy. The Universe will thank you for it and so will I.

I choose to be happy…how about you? 🙂

REVIEWS FOR THE RAINBOW WON’T WAIT

“This book brought me back to a teenage year, I was eighteen, when I lost a very important person in my life. I was young and trying to be a (everything) to everybody and this booked helped me to realize, that I did do what I was supposed to do in supporting this very important person while she was dying.

As you grow older and start your own family you hide these feeling (kinda) but as you grow older and your life settles down… they come out. Because of you telling your story made my guilt lessen. Thank you for writing this book and telling your story. Now every time I see a rainbow I will remember this very important person and think of your supportive chapters in your book. Good luck to you.”  D

“This is a wonderful book that touches on many emotions that we go through when we are dealing with a crisis, especially a prolonged one. The wisdom and courage of both Lisa and her mother came shining through in her writing. I can’t remember the last time I read a book that touched me this much!” Gail

FROM SELF~PUBLISHING TO AGENTED AUTHOR…AWESOME ARTICLE!!!

Hi Everyone!

Well, it was in the 60’s today here in Maryland, not bad for a January day! I took Kurgan and Harley out and played ball with them in the back yard. We had a blast!

I came across another cool article that I really enjoyed and I wanted to share it with you. It gave me a lot of hope as a self~published author and I hope it helps you too.

It’s called From “Self-Published Success to Agented Author.” Check it out!

http://www.writersdigest.com/editor-blogs/guide-to-literary-agents/from-self-published-success-to-agented-author?et_mid=531839&rid=3095933

I watched the movie “DEVIL”  last night which is about five people who get trapped in an elevator and soon discover, to their horror, that one of them is the devil! Ouch! It had some scary scenes that had me putting the covers over my eyes. Yes, yes, even though I write that stuff, I still get freaked out. If I don’t write it, I have no control over it! That’s why my characters don’t scare me, well sometimes they do but I tell them to cool it and they usually listen since they need me to tell their story! 🙂

AUTHOR INTERVIEW/GUEST BLOGS

February and March are totally filled now and I am looking for authors for April. Man, the year is going by so fast it seems. If you are interested, please see my contact info below.

MONTHLY CONTEST

It’s almost time to open up my monthly contest starting in February! Every month I will be giving away a FREE copy of one of my books, your choice.

The choices are (these will be repeated later)

THE RAINBOW WON’T WAIT

A dying mother’s advice for the obstinate daughter she is leaving behind.

When the author lost her mother in 2006, she could have been a better daughter. She tried to be the daughter that her mother wanted and needed at this time of sorrow but she didn’t know how to be that person.

In a collection of short pieces of advice, the author has put together words of comfort and wisdom that her Cherokee mother gave her over the years. She never knew at the time, that this advice would help her as she took care of a dying parent. It also served as a catalyst to help her regain her footing after a series of tragedies following her mother’s death, left her in a crippling, suicidal depression for three years.

A story of hope, inspiration and how a briar of a child became the flower that her mother always dreamed of…but died before she got a chance to see her bloom.

PUNCTURE

PUNCTURE

A hauntingly beautiful tale about vampire love and betrayal between a mortal and an undead.

Craving a taste for the dark side, Veronica gets more than she bargained for when she is seduced by Victor, an evil and dangerous vampire. His obsession with her runs her off the road to Heaven and soon she too will turn her back on righteousness.

Longing to be mortal again and trapped in the darkness of an immortal life, she struggles with knowing right from wrong, Heaven from Hell, and love from hate.

But when she discovers the truth about her dark prince, will it be too late? Will her new vampire friend help her destroy the only man she has ever loved? And why is he so willing to help her destroy him?

You will fall in love with the innocent Veronica and her search for love, feel her joy at rekindling an old flame and die with her as the love of her life becomes her murderer.

Victor is a charming but wicked vampire who could compel a corpse on the gallows to speak. We follow him as he preys on Veronica, senses her weakness and watch as he pounces on her and destroys her with just…one…puncture.

Every woman knows a man like Victor…

DRAGGED INTO DARKNESS

 

An abusive husband kills his wife then dies in prison and is sent to Hell. After making a deal with the devil, he must go through seven levels of Heaven to retrieve her and bring Satan back her soul. But the trip up to Heaven is not so easy for this murderer who is entangled in a business arrangement with the devil. The agreement involves two road maps, one to Heaven and one back down to Hell, bribing angels, being conned by demons, facing karmic debt and searching his way through a paradise where he is not welcome to find his dead wife and ruin her peaceful eternity.

BENEATH THE BATTLEFIELD

 

 A civil war ghost story about a young soldier describing the horrors of war in letters to his mother back home. After fighting in the battle of Antietam, his life is forever changed and he becomes frightened by the changes around him.

KING OF SHADOWS

 

A dark and wispy tale of an angry and vicious man who is hell bent on raising his wayward son even though the man committed suicide and is no longer an earthly being but a demon hidden behind a veil of shadows.

Darien and Lucinda’s son died as an infant. The baby, whose soul was pure, rejected his evil father and his violent ways.

After enduring years of abuse, Lucinda has had enough. After she leaves Darien, she finds him dead from a gunshot wound to the head.

Nine months later she gives birth to another son, a son born of evil and ready and willing to be the child that Darien has longed for.

What follows is a hellish nightmare with a demonic son whose guidance from a long dead father he never knew, makes Lucinda’s life a living hell. A father who committed suicide and now a nobody, a lost soul, hidden behind a veil of shadows.

WEIGHT WATCHERS UPDATE!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Happy Monday everyone! Is that legal to say? 🙂

Well, I barely made it out of my driveway this morning thanks to a sheet of ice that was covering my long, country lane. After some fancy foot work and expert car maneuvers, I was able to get a grip on it and get on my merry way.

Where was I going you might ask? Well, every Monday I go to Weight Watchers and have been going for the last two years!

In my first year, I lost 52 pounds! I was on cloud nine and only a few pounds away from my goal. But like most of us, I am an emotional eater and my baby (pure bred male Rottweiler) Kurgan got diagnosed with cancer and I started eating again! But, the good news is, I only gained about 15 pounds back and I am on the track to losing that too!

This morning at weigh in, I was down another 2.8 pounds! It feels great to be a loser! 🙂

It also feels great to be met with a challange or a hurdle in our way and face it head on and overcome it. That kind of road block is what I talk about in my new book, THE RAINBOW WON’T WAIT, now out on Amazon.com.

I had always been thin and as I got older, life threw me a curve ball back in 1998 when I was told I was pregnant with twin boys! I was overjoyed more than ever since I had been told I would never be able to have children.

Well, that dream died about four months later when I miscarried both boys, a week apart. I was beyond crushed and devastated and I packed on 70 pounds!

It was not until about four months later that a little black and brown bear of a Rottweiler came into my life. He was only 10 weeks old but I fell in love at first sight. Today, at almost 14 years old, Kurgan is the love of my life!

Get this…he was born on October 18, 1998…the night I lost my second twin son!

I give credit and thanks to Kurgan for keeping me alive during that time and in another dark time in my life, losing my mother to cancer back in 2006. As you will see in THE RAINBOW WON’T WAIT, one tragedy after another fell on me after her death and I didn’t think, nor did I want to survive.

But it was the love of a puppy who was now a grown boy who brought me back from the brink of death and saved me once again.

I don’t know what I am going to do one day when he has to leave me, I cry just thinking about it. But with the love and support of my wonderful family, I will get through it.

So, you see, whether it’s trying to lose weight, struggling with a miscarriage or another type of death, we are all entitled to hit our lowest points in our life. But we are also stronger than we think we are and we are survivors.

I hope you enjoy reading THE RAINBOW WON’T WAIT, and you find comfort there as well.

MEET THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE RAINBOW WON’T WAIT…

Hi again!

Well, it’s still cold out there and I am wearing two coats in the house. Crazy huh? But that is farm living in an old Victorian home!  I love it here though and wouldn’t have it any other way! 🙂

I wanted to introduce you to the inspiration behind my new book, THE RAINBOW WON’T WAIT, my mother Victoria.

This book was written after I lost my mom to cancer in 2006. It is a tribute to her and is very dear to my heart.

I hope those of you who knew her and those who have only heard me speak of her, will enjoy reading this book.

Her favorite saying was, “The work will wait while you show the child the rainbow, but the rainbow won’t wait while you do the work”…I got a lot of comfort from Ma’s advice over the years and I hope you find comfort here as well. 🙂

CALLING ALL AUTHORS/WRITERS~NEEDED FOR MONTHLY INTERVIEWS!!!

Hey there again!

Two blogs in one day, man, no wonder it snowed last night! 🙂

As I have mentioned on my blogs, I am interested in doing an interview swap once a month. As writers and authors, we all need exposure, reviews, etc. so why not help each other out!

I interview your back (or front) and you interview mine! How cool would it be for me to do a neat interview with you and you can do one on me too. It is a win~win for both of us!  🙂

EMAIL LIST FOR INSIDE INFO~CONTEST AND AUTHOR INTERVIEWS!!!

Hi everyone!

Happy Saturday! Well, we got snow and ice here in Maryland last night and I can honestly say, YUCK! I hate anything to do with the cold and dream of tropical weather on an island somewhere…ah, a girl can dream can’t she!

Well, I’ve been getting A LOT of positive feedback on my latest book, THE RAINBOW WON’T WAIT and I hope you get a chance to check it out! Thanks!

February is almost upon us and my first author interview will be featured as well as a CONTEST to WIN a FREE copy of one of my books~YOUR CHOICE!

Every month I plan on interviewing another author/writer and holding the contest so everyone can have a chance to check out other writers as well! PLUS enjoy a FREE read on me.

In my day job, I am feature writer/columnist for my local newspaper so I enjoy talking to people and getting the inside scoop!

So, have a great weekend and stay warm if you are under snow too. If you are in a warm spot, all cozy surrounded by palm trees…well then please don’t rub it in! 🙂
